Chapter 139: Rise or Fall
Chapter 139: Rise or Fall
"Master Su, although what our eldest daughter said just now was a bit harsh, she does have some truth in one point." Wang Shuting glanced at Su Qingning, who was standing next to Su Qingcang, and said with a worried look, "Miss Su San is indeed a little young, and I'm afraid she can't handle such a big responsibility!"
Su Qingcang's expression, which had just relaxed, became gloomy again because of Wang Shuting's words.
"Oh? Then I wonder who Elder Wang thinks can take on this important task?" Su Qingcang asked meaningfully, glancing at Su Huaiyang who was sitting next to Wang Shuting. His mind was as clear as a mirror, and he already knew who the other party was going to talk about.
Sure enough, Wang Shuting also glanced at Su Huaiyang, then said with a smile: "Master Su, each of your sons is a talented and capable person. If you want to choose an heir, you should choose from among them."
"In this elder's opinion, Mr. Su is outstanding in all aspects and is the most suitable candidate to inherit the position of head of the family." After some polite remarks, Wang Shuting finally stated his ultimate goal.
"Elder Wang, you are too kind." Su Huaiyang pretended to be humble. "I am not as outstanding as you say, Elder Wang. Among all the brothers in the Su family, I am just a relatively ordinary one. How can I be qualified to inherit the position of the head of the family?"
Wang Shuting smiled and was about to praise Su Huaiyang again, but before he could open his mouth, a cold and slightly sarcastic voice slowly sounded.
"I didn't expect Second Uncle to be so self-aware." Su Qingning sneered, "That's right. Second Uncle's cultivation talent is average, not as good as First Uncle's. He's also not as good at dealing with people as Fourth Uncle. He's really too ordinary in every aspect, so he's not worthy of the position of head of the family."
Su Huaiyang's face flushed red and blue after hearing Su Qingning's words. He felt embarrassed and annoyed, and the fake smile on his face could no longer be maintained. He glared at Su Qingning with resentment and angrily scolded her, "When the elders are talking, how can you, a junior, interrupt? You are really uneducated."
"It's true that she's a bit uncultured." Wang Shuting nodded in agreement. He looked at Su Qingning unhappily and accused her with a condescending attitude, "Miss Su San, Master Su Er is your uncle after all, your elder. You're so disrespectful and lacking in manners to insult him with such foul language."
Su Qingning could tolerate being scolded by others, but she would never allow anyone to insult her family. When Su Huaiyang and Wang Shuting kept calling her uncultured, it was like saying that Yun Ruopiao, as a mother, had not taught her daughter well, which just touched Su Qingning's sore spot.
"Heh!" Su Qingning sneered. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Su Huaiyang and Wang Shuting with a cold look in her eyes.
However, before Su Qingning could make any move, Su Qingcang slammed the table with all his might, looking at his son Su Huaiyang with a look of authority that was not angered, and asked in a cold voice, "Little Ning is the young master appointed by the head of the family, and the power of the Su family's steward has been handed over to her. Why doesn't she have the right to speak?"
Hearing his father's cold questioning, Su Huaiyang's face turned pale in an instant and he dared not speak anymore.
Wang Shuting frowned and wanted to say something, but Su Qingcang did not give him the chance.
"Elder Wang, who my Su family chooses as the heir is my Su family's own business. What does it have to do with you, an outsider? What qualifications do you have to point fingers at my Su family?"
Su Qingcang's words were very blunt, and he didn't give Wang Shuting any face at all.
"You!" Wang Shuting glared at Su Qingcang, so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time. His expression kept changing, sometimes blue and sometimes red, which was very interesting.
"Elder Wang, if there is nothing else, you can leave. I'm sorry that I can't see you off." Su Qingcang directly asked to drive them away without any intention of being tactful.
This time, Wang Shuting's expression became even uglier. He glared at Su Qingcang and Su Qingning with cold eyes, his face full of anger and resentment.
"Good, very good, your Su family is really good!" Wang Shuting stood up, angrily shook his sleeves, and shouted: "Let's go!"
After saying this, Wang Shuting no longer wanted to stay in the Su family and immediately turned around and left.
Seeing this, the disciples of Tiandao Sect hurriedly followed; however, before leaving, Wan Jiaojiao glanced at Su Qingning. Her eyes were like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. As long as it found an opportunity, it would pounce on and bite someone, giving them a fatal blow.
Seeing that the people from Tiandao Sect had left, Su Huaiyang knew that his plan to dethrone Su Qingning from the position of young master had failed.
Seeing the unresigned look on Su Huaiyang's face, Su Qingcang couldn't help but feel disappointed. He gave Su Huaiyang a cold look and warned him pointedly, "I have made up my mind about Ning girl becoming the heir of the Su family. Whether you accept it or not, I will not change my decision. Therefore, I hope that some people can correct their minds and stop thinking about things that do not belong to them."
"If in the future, I find out that someone disobeys Miss Ning and wants to replace her, don't blame me for being ruthless and expel them from the Su family."
Hearing this, Su Huaiyang raised his head in disbelief. When he met Su Qingcang's cold eyes, he knew that his father was warning him and that these words were meant for him.
Su Huaiyang lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists, his heart filled with resentment. Why?! Why, ever since we were little, have you always favored my third brother? Even after he disappeared, you still favored his daughter. Why?! What exactly is it about me that's inferior to Su Huaijin? Why can't you ever see me? Why?!
Su Huaiyang asked himself why over and over again in his heart, but no one gave him an answer. He was paranoid and got stuck in a dead end. He became more and more jealous of Su Huaijin. This jealousy made him hate Su Qingning and Su Qingcang as well.
After scolding everyone in the Su family, Su Qingcang asked them to go away, and he turned around and walked towards the yard where he lived.
However, when he was going back, Su Qingcang was followed by a little tail.
In fact, Su Qingning didn't expect that she would follow him. She just followed him subconsciously when she saw Su Qingcang leaving.
However, since she had already caught up, Su Qingning did not intend to give up halfway, but continued to follow Su Qingcang.
Whether in the previous life or this life, Su Qingning always has some questions in her heart. She wants to find Su Qingcang to ask them clearly. Only after she has answered the questions in her heart can she decide whether to make the Su family prosper or let the Su family perish.
After Su Qingcang walked for a short distance, he realized that there was a little tail following him. When he knew that the person behind him was Su Qingning, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
Alas! What is coming has finally come!
